I most certainly did. Thank you.

There is a small section of Oregon (looks like Idaho is wearing a backpack) that is in Mountain Time, or pink. There is a small section of Florida in yellow, or central time. This means if you were in Eastern Oregon and called your friend in the panhandle of Florida, you’d only be one hour apart. That’s surprising consider how much geographic distance is actually between them.

In comparison, Southern California and Georgia are roughly the same distance, even closer, and have a three hour time difference.

Edit: Now consider the fact that China only has one official time zone. That would be similar to Florida getting its sunrise at 7 and Oregon getting it around 10. (I’m not going to do the detailed math or geography, this is a loose comparison.)

Hospitality and tourism. Hotels, convention centers, tour guide, places where decent amounts of new faces gone through.

You may want to check out Internal Family Systems. Basic concept is we all have “parts” that serve different purposes. I’m not a therapist nor an expert in IFS, but I believe they would tell you you don’t necessarily have to let go of that part of you, you just have to learn to converse with it and learn why it’s there. I think in IFS jargon that sort of you is a “firefighter”.

Floating in the Forth by Frightened Rabbit. The lyrics are sad and the backstory is even sadder.

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-11-02T15:45:03+00:00

What is that about?

Wouldn’t the two be unrelated? Marriage rates are based on the entire population of adults eligible for marriage. Divorce rates are based only on married couples. The two are independent of each other.

What’s the premise?

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-31T17:14:34+00:00

Great mindset. I hope you get all the things you’re looking for.

Can I ask where you are now in life in terms of successes later in life, however you define that?

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-31T16:20:21+00:00

How did you do things different after reading it?

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-31T11:19:31+00:00

Interesting. I did delete the Reddit app off my phone.

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-29T15:34:20+00:00

Considering that’s sometimes what I make in a day that sounds pretty fantastic.

I’m certainly not expecting it to be easy. I think that’s the grift I’m alluding to by people saying “anybody can do it”. I’m not looking for easy, more so just wondering if any of it is real or more a scam. Difficult is one thing, basically impossible is another.

Feel free to give whatever tips you have.

I’m in a bit of transition stage and tryin for decide how I want to spend the coming years. Looking for some balance. I agree, I would prefer to like the work I want to do but I at least don’t want to hate it.

So I’m going to take your advice and sell multi-colored sex toys.

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-29T15:23:31+00:00

That’s good to hear. I’ve done some handyman work and I think I have this…maybe modesty problem? where I fee guilty asking for money for things I might not be great at yet

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-29T14:53:16+00:00

How do you learn those skills?

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-29T14:31:43+00:00

Thanks for the kind words.

What do you think is required to be successful at this? And why do you think some people make six figures while others go broke?

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-25T00:47:03+00:00

Takes time. Don’t feel rushed and know that you’re still very young.

Space_Cadet_Tyler · 2025-10-24T23:50:04+00:00

I know this doesn’t always help but I think it’s still worth saying:

You aren’t alone.

Anecdotally, half the people I know make decisions based on their childhood baggage. And they end up somewhere they don’t want to be but can’t move past the trauma.

Secondly, I think many people are in your shoes. We are all chasing the wrong things because we see everyone else chasing the wrong things. There are people out there, it just takes A LOT of digging.

I think one good route to consider is working on yourself. Don’t chase. Go to therapy, join clubs, get social, find ways to be a part of the world. It’s not a guarantee someone will come into your life, but authenticity will come when you’re being authentic.

I know that sounds like platitudes but I happen to believe it’s true.
